Congenital uterine anomalies occur due to abnormal fusion of mullerian duct during embryonic life. It is associated with high incidences of reproductive failures and adverse obstetrical outcomes. It may be associated with malpresentation, preterm labour, or recurrent pregnancy losses. Authors report a case series of 7 patients which were admitted in obstetrics and gynaecology department of SP medical college and associated group of hospitals between time period of March 2019 to July 2019. Among 7 cases 6 cases were associated with malpresentation, 1 with abortion, and 1 with preterm labour. This series shows that uterine anomalies are associated with different obstetrical outcomes varying from totally uneventful antenatal and postnatal period to abortion or preterm labour. Prenatal diagnosis of uterine anomaly may help in improving the obstetrical outcome in these patients.
